Okay, so the American Music Awards just happened and let me tell you, my couch is still vibrating from the sheer energy. BTS absolutely DOMINATED, and the Black Eyed Peas? They brought us all the way back to the 2000s. If you blinked, you missed it. Here’s the tea you need to know.
1. BTS’s Record-Breaking Night
Seriously, BTS didn’t just win; they swept! They snagged Artist of the Year, Favorite Pop Duo or Group, and Favorite Pop Song. I’m not crying, you are. This is HUGE for them and for ARMY everywhere. Total domination, no cap.

OMG, can we talk about the Black Eyed Peas? Fergie wasn’t there, but will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo performed, and it felt like 2006 all over again. They performed ‘Let’s Get It Started’ and ‘Boom Boom Pow’. Nostalgia overload, honestly.
3. ARMY’s Reaction Was EVERYTHING
The internet practically exploded when BTS won Artist of the Year. ARMY was screaming, crying, throwing up (in the best way possible). The sheer joy and pride? Pure magic. We love to see it.
4. That BTS Performance Though…
Their performance of ‘Butter’ was, as expected, FLAWLESS. The choreo, the vocals, the outfits – everything was on point. They literally owned the stage. I could watch it on repeat forever.
5. Fergie’s Absence Noticed
While the reunion was epic, a lot of us did notice Fergie wasn’t part of the performance. It’s a whole mood, you know? We miss her iconic voice, but still loved seeing the guys back together.
6. Olivia Rodrigo Shut Down the Stage
Okay, not BTS or BEP, but Olivia Rodrigo’s performance was also a major moment. She’s just too talented. Her energy is unmatched, and she’s clearly here to stay. Living for her reign.
7. The Fashion Was a Vibe
From BTS’s coordinated suits to the other stars’ bold looks, the red carpet (or stage carpet?) was a fashion show. Some hits, some misses, but mostly just ICONIC. Who wore it best? Discuss!
8. Rapper of the Year: Drake (Again!)
Yep, Drake took home Rapper of the Year. It’s no surprise, the man is a machine. He wasn’t there to accept, but we all know he’s probably celebrating somewhere luxurious right now.
9. Taylor Swift’s Big Wins
Taylor Swift also had a solid night, winning Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Pop Album. Queen Tay is always a force to be reckoned with. Her fans are as dedicated as ARMY, no doubt.
10. The Surprising Collaborations
There were some unexpected collabs on stage! Artists we didn’t see coming together, delivering amazing performances. It’s these moments that make award shows worth watching.
11. What’s Next for BTS?
With all these wins, the big question is: what’s next for BTS? They’re still breaking records and dominating charts. Their solo careers are also taking off. It’s an exciting time for the group and their fans.
12. Will the Black Eyed Peas Tour?
